5 years ago today I opened my heart to you. I carried you home & built a new life around you. I learned about night time feedings, rocking to sleep, diaper changes, installing car seats, the value of a good teething ring, first bike rides, childhood tears, terrible twos (and threes), fits of giggles, tickle fights, cuddles, story time, holding hands . . .

But mostly, I learned how to love & comfort & smile - I mean really smile from ear to ear. You are my first born, my sweetheart.
